Schneider Electric TSXEPE1 UV Light EPROM Eraser

Schneider Electric TSXEPE1 UV Light EPROM Eraser is a TSX-series specialty unit designed to erase EPROM cartridges used with Telemecanique TSX Series 7 programmable logic controllers. It operates on 220/240 VAC and uses ultraviolet light to clear the contents of EPROM memory cartridges, a prerequisite step before rewriting program data. In catalogs, it is described explicitly as an EPROM eraser for TSX automation hardware, sometimes listed as TSX-EPE-1, confirming its role as a dedicated tool within the TSX ecosystem. In practical use, technicians remove a TSX EPROM cartridge, insert it into the eraser, and perform the erase process to prepare the cartridge for new program data. Common applications include EPROM cartridge preparation for firmware updates and configuration changes in TSX Series 7 installations, where removable memory cartridges load and store PLC programs and settings. The TSXEPE1 is categorized as a specialty accessory within Schneider Electric’s TSX lineup, engineered specifically to support EPROM erasure for TSX-series modules.
